To take mid-table teams into a fight for the title, our idealistic FM21 managers can add players to their squads without paying a transfer fee. We have prepared the best 10 players for you. Our list has familiar names who fought for big clubs in Europe during their careers but failed to stick.

The 10 Best Players You Can Sign Without Paying a Transfer Fee in FM21

Ahmed Musa - 28 - Left Winger/Right Winger/Striker

Football Manager 2021 Ahmed Musa

Having spent his last two years at Al-Nasr, the experienced player scored 7 goals and made 12 assists in 41 appearances. Playable in all attacking positions, Ahmed Musa is especially useful for Süper Lig teams under Fair-Play conditions.

Mario Balotelli - 31 - Striker

Football Manager 2021 Mario Balotelli

Last season he made a total of 19 official appearances at Brescia. Brescia, who lost the relegation battle, had parted ways with Balotelli. If you like risky transfers, you can agree an average salary with Balotelli. You have the chance to turn 29-year-old Balotelli into a superstar and sell him back to big clubs.

Mario Mandzukic - 34 - Striker

Football Manager 2021 free agent Mario Mandzukic

Perhaps the best player on our list, Mario Mandzukic, I assume, needs no introduction. We are seeing the 34-year-old Croatian striker as a free agent in Football Manager for the first time in years. After a poor season in Qatar, Mario has the capacity to find a place in any club in the world with his experience, strength and will to win.

Jack Wilshere - 28 - Attacking Midfielder (No. 10)

Football Manager 2021 Wilshere

Considering his injury history and the breakthrough he failed to make at Arsenal, he is risky, but looking at his attributes, age and ability, he could be a great signing.

Daniel Sturridge - 30 - Striker

Football Manager 2021 Daniel Sturridge

Last season, the English star player who transferred to Trabzonspor was sent away by the club at the mid-season break and had also received a four-month ban from FIFA. With more than 200 Premier League appearances, Sturridge can be signed at a reasonable cost.

Alexandre Pato - 30 - Striker

Football Manager 2021 Pato

After those great years at Milan with Ibrahimovic, the player whose contract ended at Sao Paulo is another name you can sign this year for free. With his technical ability, finishing and pace, he is still one of the names we call “gets the job done”.

Fabio Borini - 29 - Left Winger

Football Manager 2021 Borini

Having played for big clubs like Chelsea, Liverpool, Roma, Milan and more, the experienced player Borini is one of the names whose contract Milan did not renew last season. In Football Manager 21, the player who is a free agent is currently doing very well in Türkiye wearing the Karagümrük shirt.

Kwadwo Asamoah - 31 - Attacking Left-Back

Football Manager 2021 Asamoah

After a season at Inter, his contract ended, and Asamoah is one of the players who best fit the 3-5-2 system. For those who like playing with different systems, Asamoah, one of the best names on the list, is a great fit for both a back four and a back three.

Daryl Janmaat - 31 - Right-Back

Football Manager 2021 Daryl Janmaat

Last season his contract ended at Watford, and the experienced Dutch player spent 6 years in the Premier League. A dependable workhorse, as you could describe him, Daryl Janmaat can do very well, especially in the Süper Lig.

Yohan Cabaye - 34 - Central Midfielder/Attacking Midfielder

Football Manager 2021 Cabaye

A name we heard very often in the past, Cabaye, in FM21, is one of the free agents. With the low salary you sign him for, he will do very good things in your team for at least 1 year.
